HQPD
Welcome to the OAGC Gifted High-Quality Professional Development (HQPD) page!
Following the summer 2025 updates to Ohio’s gifted education rule, OAGC is reviewing and developing new HQPD resources to reflect the updated requirements. These materials will be added to this page as they become available.
In the meantime, please explore the existing resources below. While these documents were created to reflect the previous version of the gifted rule, they may continue to provide helpful background, guidance, and planning support as you await the updated materials.
OAGC extends its appreciation to the original HQPD committee, whose position paper provided the foundation for many of the documents and resources available on this page.
